A Shreveport attorney and his husband will be among the four couples challenging the state's constitutional ban on recognizing same-sex marriages legally performed outside the state with the Forum for Equality Louisiana.

L. Havard Scott, a local attorney, and Sergio March Prieto, a Spanish singer and actor with permanent U.S. residency, entered into a civil union in 2000 in Vermont, returning to the state in 2010 after it legalized marriage for same-sex couples, according to a biography of the couple on a Forum for Equality blog post.
